The present invention relates to a portable multi-function charger, especially to a portable multi-function charger connected to notebook computer, wall socket, vehicle power socket and battery to supply electric power to electronic devices or charge the rechargeable battery.
The portable electronic devices such as notebook computers, cellulous phones and PDA become indispensable to modern people. Consequently, the portable electronic devices require rechargeable battery (such as Li battery, NiH battery or NiCd battery) for electric power and a charger is needed to charge the rechargeable battery.
However, the conventional charger has only limited charging function. For example, the conventional charger generally cannot perform charging operation for multiple batteries.
It is the object of the present invention to provide a portable multi-function charger, which can be electrically connected to portable electronic device, wall socket, vehicle charger or battery for inputting electric power. Therefore, the multi-function charger has flexible electric power sources. The inventive multi-function charger can be used to simultaneously charge a plurality of portable electronic devices and rechargeable battery and has compact size for convenience of carrying.
To achieve above object, the present invention provides a portable multi-function charger for electronic devices comprising a body, a circuit section, an input end, an output end, an output cord and a battery connector. The body has a cavity therein to receive the circuit section. The circuit section has a circuit board therein and having a plurality of spring contacts. The input end, the output end, the output cord and the battery connector are connected to the circuit board. A mounting stage is arranged on outer surface of the body and has a plurality of contacts therein.
The various objects and advantages of the present invention will be more readily understood from the following detailed description when read in conjunction with the appended drawing, in which:
With reference to
The circuit section 12 is composed of a circuit board 20 and a plurality of electric components 21. The circuit board 20 is received in the cavity 19 and has a plurality of indication lamps 22, 23 thereon. The indication lamps 22, 23, for example, can be LED or light bulbs and are used for status indication, or lightening and warming function. The body 11 has transparent mask 24 and through hole 25 corresponding to the indication lamps 22, 23 to facilitate the light emission of the indication lamps 22, 23. Moreover, the circuit board 20 has a plurality of spring contacts 26 electrically connected thereto.
The input end 13, the output end 14, the output cord 15 and the battery connector 16 are connected to the circuit board 20. The output cord 15 is also connected to a plug 27 connected to a portable device such as a cellulous phone. The input end 13 is connected to a plug 29 of an input cord 30, which is also connected to a USB connector 31.
The body 11 has a mounting chamber 28 on outer surface thereof and the mounting chamber 28 can be integrally formed with the body 11 by injection molding or detachably assembled to the body 11. In this preferred embodiment, the mounting chamber 28 is integrally formed with the body 11. The mounting chamber 28 can be arbitrary shape with open topside such that rechargeable battery can be placed within the mounting chamber 28. One end of each spring contact 26 extends into the mounting chamber 28.
With reference to
Moreover, a portable electronic device 52 to be charged can be connected to the plug 27 of the output cord 15 such that the portable electronic device 52 can be charged through the plug 27. Therefore, the portable multi-function charger can be functioned as a traveling charging suit.
With reference to
With reference to
With reference to
At the same time, a rechargeable battery 62 to be charged can be placed into the mounting chamber 28 such that the contacts of rechargeable battery are in contact with the spring contacts 26 and the rechargeable battery 51 can be charged through the spring contacts 26. Moreover, another portable electronic device 63 to be charged is connected to the plug 27 of the output cord 15 such that the portable electronic device 63 can be charged through the plug 27.
With reference to
Moreover, the input end 13 of the inventive multi-function charger 10 can be electrically connected to portable electronic device such as notebook computer, wall socket, vehicle charger for inputting electric power, or connected to dry battery through the battery connector 16 to acquire DC electric power. Therefore, the inventive multi-function charger 10 has flexible electric power sources. The inventive multi-function charger 10 can be used to simultaneously charge a plurality of portable electronic devices and rechargeable battery and has compact size for convenience of carrying.
